New Study mode — drill your own positions as flashcards
BackgammonDB now turns any set of your positions into flashcards to study and drill common error spots. Plus new position tags and a few analysis fixes.
The latest version adds a new feature, Study. There are also some new position tags and a few analysis fixes.
Study: your own games, as flashcards
Study turns any set of your analyzed positions into a quiz on your positions. A flashcard deck can be any set of positions you want: tagged or starred positions, a built-in preset or one of your own. You then study in batches of 5, 10 or 25 questions at a time.
For each position, you choose a move from a list of potential candidates and get graded on your pick. Near-best answers count as correct, and you get an error rate at the end of every study session. Every question is one of your real past decisions, pulled from your own matches.
As you study a deck, it will mix in seen cards with new ones. If you master a position (correct three times in a row), you won't see it again. Start as many flashcard decks as you want and pick up and resume any to study.
Your study history is exporting in library backup. Full details are in the Study manual docs.

New position tags
More of your decisions now get classified automatically (and become their own Study decks): making the 5-point and golden anchor, midpoint broken and stripped, slotting the bar point, and making a 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-prime.

Fixes
- Luck on resignations. The luck calculation wasn't counting the roll on a resignation. It does now.
- Stray cube decisions. An irrelevant cube decision was being counted in your stats when the hero happened to act on it. No longer.
- Early game. The opening now runs to the first four rolls and 36 pips of movement (it was cutting off too early). A hit still ends the opening immediately. Imported matches re-tag automatically on next open.
